First off, let’s talk pronunciation. It’s not “Loo-chess.” It’s “Loo – Kay – See.” Be sure to say it right or you’ll immediately brand yourself as a poser instead of a real cowboy or cowgirl. Lucchese’s been making cowboy and western boots since Sam Lucchese’s grandfather started the company in 1883. That’s a long time to be making boots. What they don’t know about boots and feet probably doesn’t need to be known.
The original Sam Lucchese settled in San Antonio at the tender age of 17 back in 1880. Three years later, he’d started his boot company. But it was his grandson, Sam Lucchese, Jr. who really stepped up the boot design and crafted the company’s stellar reputation for fit, comfort and quality. If you want one of the best pair of boots money can buy, you are looking for a pair of Lucchese Boots. Our Friends at Boot City carry a full line of Lucchese, and we also reviews of Lucchese Boots here at cowboy boot review.
